Anglo-Indian
Anglo-Indian people fall into two different groups: those with mixed Indian and British ancestry, and people of British descent born or residing in India. The latter sense is now mainly historical, but confusions can arise. The ''Oxford English Dictionary'', for example, gives ''three'' possibilities: "Of mixed British and Indian parentage, of Indian descent but born or living in Britain or (chiefly historical) of English descent or birth but living or having lived long in India". People fitting the middle definition are more usually known as British Asian or British Indian. This article focuses primarily on the modern definition, a distinct minority community of mixed Eurasian ancestry, whose first language is English. The All India Anglo-Indian Association, founded in 1926, has long represented the interests of this ethnic group; it holds that Anglo-Indians are unique in that they are Christians, speak English as their mother tongue, and have a historical link to both Europe ...

Mahomed introduced Indian cuisine and shampoo baths to Europe, where he offered therapeutic massage. He was also the first Indian to publish a book in English. Early life Born in May 1759 in the city of Patna, then part of the Bengal Presidency in British India, he was from a Bengali Muslim family.

Mahomet Weyonomon
Mahomet Weyonomon (c. 1700 – 11 August 1736) was a Native American tribal chieftain (or ''sachem'') of the Mohegan tribe from Connecticut, who travelled to England in 1735 to petition King George II for better treatment of his people. Life Mahomet was the great-grandson of Uncas, an important sachem of the Mohegan tribe. In 1735, Captain John Mason, a descendant of the settler who had been asked by Uncas to act as guardians and trustees over the Mohegan land, engineered Mahomet's election to the position of Sachem in place of his great Uncle, Ben Uncas, who was more favoured by the Colony of Connecticut. By 1735, the Mohegan people had lost much of their planting and hunting lands to white settlers in New England. Accompanied by two settlers who supported his cause, John and Samuel Mason, and another Mohegan, AughQuant, Weyonomon travelled to England, where the trio rented accommodation at St Mary Aldermanbury in the City of London while they prepared their petition to the ...
